he U.S. hiring outlook for the next six months is expected to mirror the same period in 2015 — but paychecks will likely become a little bigger — according to CareerBuilder’s Midyear Job Forecast. More than half of employers will raise wages for current employees while 2 in 5 will offer higher starting salaries on job offers in the second half of the year.

Looking across all industries, 1 in 6 employers (16 percent) said they plan to hire more recruiters in the next six months to help bring new talent in the door. Some of the in-demand roles employers said they will be recruiting for in the second half of the year are those tied to:

Cloud technology – 12 percent

Mobile technology – 11 percent

Social marketing – 11 percent

Providing a good user experience – 11 percent

Developing apps – 9 percent

Wellness – 9 percent

E-commerce – 9 percent

Financial regulation – 9 percent

Creating a digital strategy – 9 percent

Managing and interpreting Big Data – 8 percent

Cyber security – 8 percent

Among broader functional areas, employers will be hiring for:

Customer Service – 29 percent

Sales – 27 percent

Information Technology – 25 percent

Production – 20 percent

Accounting/Finance – 13 percent

Human Resources – 13 percent

Clinical – 12 percent

Business Development – 11 percent

Marketing – 11 percent

Research and Development – 11 percent

In addition to reporting the largest year-over-year gain for the percentage of employers expecting to add full-time, permanent staff, the West is also outpacing the other regions. The Northeast is the only region that reported a decline — though is still near the national average for hiring — while the Midwest continues to lag the national average. Hiring in the South will be akin to last year and match the national average.
